17 In the picture above we have come over
the rise that we saw on page 16, are heading just east of north and that
is now Pykestone Hill in front of us. The Thief's Road has been taken over
by the vehicle track and the fence as ever is with us. Unknown to me there
were 3 walkers hidden in the dip between here and Pykestone when I took
the above picture and I got quite a suprise when they suddenly appeared
quite near me. They were all roughly my age and they had come down from
Kirkintilloch north of Glasgow to walk from Drumelzier village over the
Thief's Road to Dollar Law and back by the Stanhope Burn glen. I met them
again down by the bottom of the Hopecarton Burn when I came off Dulyard
Brae. They were from the Strathkelvin Walking Club and I had a good crack
with them.
In the picture below you can see down to Old Kirkhope by the Manor Water. |
